Once I loved a butterflyDon't wonder how, don't ask me whyBut I believed what I'd been toldAll things that glitter can't be gold, ooh yeahAll things that glitter can't be goldThose jealous minds conspired to sayJust let that creature fly awayHow can it be she has it all?Her pride is headed for a fall, ooh yeahAll things that glitter can't be goldOh Lord, what races we runSeeking our place in the sunReaching and hopingWe'll find the right oneNow every day a new joy waitsMy butterfly grew golden wingsIt seems we find as we grow oldSome things that glitter may be gold, ooh yeahSome things that glitter may be goldSo let us mind what's there to seeBefore our hearts become too coldIn spite of all that we've been toldSome things that glitter may be gold, ooh yeahSome things that glitter may be gold, ooh yeahSome things that glitter may be gold
